Getting married abroad?
Start with your Dutch birth certificate.
I can arrange the Dutch birth certificate application and the agreed follow-up steps for your marriage abroad as one clear document route.
Choose the right service
Choose Apostille Submission when a suitable original is ready. Choose Document Coordination when the application and several Dutch document steps for a marriage abroad need to connect.
Apostille Submission
For Dutch documents that are already correctly prepared and only need straightforward apostille submission before they can continue to the receiving party abroad.
- Practical submission for the apostille
- For an available and suitable paper original
- Progress updates via WhatsApp
Document Coordination
For unclear, urgent, international, notarial, embassy, corporate, rejected-document, or multi-step situations that require broader coordination and communication with Dutch authorities before use abroad.
- Review of the marriage instructions provided
- Support with the birth certificate application
- Coordination of agreed apostille, legalisation and translation steps
Government fees, apostille fees, translation costs, notarial fees and other applicable third-party costs are always confirmed before work begins.
